enhanced comment functionality

Hi,

I really like that!

(german link - sorry. Just highlight some text in the entry and press the 'antworten' button to see the effect)

I know it's jQuery, but maybe it would be a nice option? I guess it can't be done in an plugin, it's in the core, right?

I also like it. But.

Whether implemented as a plugin or in the core, this would require either the plugin or core to also bundle jQuery. I'm not sure whether that's possible in terms of licenses ..?

For the record (or Garvin): jQuery can be used with either MIT or GPL license.

Actually this is much easier than I thought. It's all done by adjusting the theme!

I did add it to my Bulletproof Installation and it worked (for most parts) right away after adding a few classes.

Can be seen here: http://www.loben.org/ (sorry, german blog, just click an entry and highlight some entry text). I did deactivate most of the more advanced options (list related comments etc.)

Details about the javascript: http://donttrustthisguy.com/2009/01/04/ ... ommentary/

Only thing I couldn't do is having the comment content when pressing quote (quote button deactivated).

The javascript got a few weak spots though:
* no language setting
* classes should have prefix, entry-content is already used by Bulletproof but also by 'Encouraged Commentary'

Holy cow! Somebody else is actually using my Criterion colorset! For a second, I thought I was on my own blog.

That's a pretty neat script. But I notice it's using HTML for quoting. It was my impression that we stripped HTML from comments. Did you do something special to allow it?

Maybe we should simply add such a plugin containing jQuery? This way you could prevent the situation of two or more plugins using it manually (also used jquery for the commentpreview-plugin and working on another using it, too). I made a first version of a jquery-plugin which only shall serve as dependency.
